Sorbet à l’Antoinette
Remove the pips from a nice pineapple and pound the fruit till smooth; mix it with half a pint of cold water and the pulp of three oranges, four skinned pounded bananas, four ounces of castor sugar, a saltspoonful of Marshall’s Apricot Yellow, and the juice of two lemons; flavour with a wineglassful of cooking brandy and one of curaçao syrup, tammy this, then freeze it in the charged ice machine to a semi-solid consistency, and serve it in prepared ice-water cups (see recipe) which have been coloured with any of Marshall’s liquid colours; place a few shreds of French plums prepared as below in the centre of each and serve one to each person. These can also be served for a dessert ice.
If using tinned pineapple add the syrup from the tin to the fruit when pounded with a pint of cold water, tammy it, and finish as for the fresh fruit.
